Spontaneous interchange of a server

Last Updated : Dec 09, 2021 |
If a spontaneous server interchange has occurred, assume that a serious fault has occurred on the current standby server. The occurrence of a recent interchange is displayed in the Bash shell’s server screen. The following symptoms indicate that a spontaneous server interchange has taken place:
  • A SYSTEM error is logged in the Error log.

  • An interchange entry is recorded in the initcauses log.

You can use display initcauses to tell at what time a spontaneous interchange has taken place.

Note:

The display initcauses command is not available to customer logins.

The display initcauses command displays a record of every system reset. In the following example, a spontaneous interchange into Server B took place at 2:53 p.m. The standby server (B) transitioned into active mode with a WARM restart (reset level 1).
